Taliban Says U.S. Offer “Lunatic”
Obama is trying to offer “honorable reconciliation” to the Taliban. The Taliban think that’s a pretty goofy idea. I hate to say it but I agree with the Taliban. The problem is that our current president, and too many of his fellow travelers on the left, simply misunderstand the world.
They seem to think we have no mortal enemies. All we have, according to their view, are adversarial relationships caused by a variety of geopolitical circumstances. They think with the right tweaks to the circumstances we could all be great pals.
That strikes me as a very dangerous bet. After all, with the right tweaks to the geopolitical situation our “adversaries” may turn out to indeed have been mortal enemies who are now empowered to hasten our demise.
Here’s a simple suggestion for our great thinkers on the left: if some says to you “I hate you and I’m going to kill you” it’s a good idea to take it seriously.
